Enclosed Trailer Buying Guide

Buying Enclosed Trailers

Trailers are essential purchases for many people. Buying a trailer can make it very easy for you to safely transport cargo. Enclosed trailers are what the majority of people choose for a variety of different reasons. There are many options available to you when you want to purchase a trailer. It can be very confusing to make a decision. One of the first options you have is whether to buy an open or enclosed trailer. If you value your cargo and your investment, you should choose an enclosed trailer for a variety of reasons. Such as:

  • Enclosed trailers offer many features over open trsilers. One feature they offer is protection against bad weather. Imagine carrying precious cargo only to have it ruined in a rainstorm! Enclosed trailers can completely eliminate this problem, as your cargo will not be exposed to the elements.
  • Enclosed trailers have either double or single doors that open and shut. These allow you to have easy access to your cargo inside while protecting your investment. Some enclosed trailers even have a ramp. This makes it possible to put things like large vehicles inside enclosed car haulers. Once the vehicle is up to the ramp, they fold up and the doors shut.
  • Another reason to choose enclosed trailers is that they can be locked. If you are staying overnight somewhere or will be away for an extended period of time it is essential to lock your cargo up. Nothing is worse than coming back to your truck to find your things have been stolen! An enclosed trailer can do a lot to prevent theft.
  • Despite all of these wonderful things, some people prefer open trailers to enclosed trailers. One reason they give for this is that they consider enclosed trailers to be too heavy. This may be true if you only have a light load in your open trailer. However, an open trailer simply does not have the structure and that enclosed trailers have.
  • It can be noted though that the extra weight adds durability to enclosed trailers. You can rest assured that your cargo is safe and securr in enclosed trailers. There is little risk of your items being too heavy for enclosed trailers, and you don't need to worry about things falling out.

People are usually turned off by the higher cost of enclosed trailers. They are attracted to open trailers because they think they will be saving money. However, many people end up buying enclosed trailers later on because they've discovered that open trailers just do not meet their trailer needs. You can end up spending a good deal more than if you had just purchased an enclosed trailer, to begin with! It would be a real shame to make the wrong choice when buying cargo trailers because they are a large investment.

If the cargo you transport is important to you, you will want to buy an enclosed trailer. Enclosed trailers offer the durability and protection you need. Even though enclosed trailers are more expensive they are still a smart economical choice because of the quality they will provide to you.

North Carolina Trailer Sales offers a variety of the best-enclosed trailers, they can help you to find the best cargo trailer to fit your needs. You will be able to quickly go through hundreds of listings, easily compared prices, and find a good bargain- all without leaving home.

Great experience with Sam as my sales consultant and the finance manager Shanice. The staff was very helpful and was able to change a bad situation into a pleasant one. Also a shout out to the guys that hooked me up to the new trailer and answered all my questions. Thanks Tyler, Noah & Christian.

I spoke with my good friend Tammy, who did all my paperwork for the sale, DMV and warranty information, about getting a new trailer. She then put me in contact with sales superstar Sam who was very patient with me. She gave me quotes on any upgrades I asked about. (As a Veteran they offer 10% off any upgrades) Shaun handled all the payment information professionally and timely. I have tons of options in my area to buy a trailer and won’t go anywhere other than NC Trailer Sales. To top it all off the guys, Noah and Christian, brought my trailer out to me with my inspection forms and diligently went over the trailer to make sure it was up to my standards. If you’ve never bought a trailer they thoroughly go over how to hook it up, check the lights and tell you the safe psi for the tires.

I’m very picky about anything I buy and can’t say enough about the whole process. They’ve earned a customer for life and I strongly recommend them for your trailer needs. You won’t be disappointed.

I found exactly what I was looking for in a 7 x 12 trailer. The team at NC Trailer Sales did a great job prepping my trailer with accessories the same day of purchase, making my 4 hour round trip extremely productive. Marc B. Shelby, NC

I would give this company a 6 star if possible. The owner of my company wanted to get new dumpsters with a roll off trailer. After doing some research finding not only is their product quality off the charts there customer service is outstanding. From start to finish Sam was on it and was always willing to help whenever needed. Shancie was great with all the paperwork, very quick and respectful. Christina came out explained everything needed to be known and the tags and contracts. Noah was top notch when it came to informing us on how to set up and use the equipment. Will 100% be coming back here for all future trailer purchases.

I had been wanting a dump trailer for a while so I stopped by to take a look and I'm glad I did. Sam took the time to explain the difference and quality of the brands they had. I have always been a quality over value kind of person and by her explaining the difference in the brands the Maxx-D was by far my choice. Sam and the whole crew made this buying process as smooth as it could possibly be. They all took the time to answer all of my questions and never once was pushy about anything. Shancie made the paper work and title process smooth and simple. Never trying to push anything that I didn't need and making sure I had everything that I did need for the intended use of the trailer. When it came time to leave Noah made sure I had a full understanding of all the features and further recommendations to keep the beast of a trailer in top condition. Thanks to the whole team here for your world class service.

I would definitely give six stars if I could!
I visited NC Trailers in Thomasville today and had a fantastic experience. We were welcomed and advised in a very friendly and professional manner. The team showed us many different options for modifying the trailer and explained everything in detail.

Within just 60 minutes, I was able to take home the perfect trailer and I’m already looking forward to putting it to use for the first time.

Keep up the great work — an amazing team at NC Trailers!

We recently purchased a 6x12 Cynergy trailer from the Thomasville location. I spent some time online looking for a trailer that fitted my needs and the huge selection offered by NC Trailers made it easy to find what I was looking for. I gave them a call and discussed with Sam my needs and options / add-ons. She sent me a quote for the trailer as discussed in a matter of minutes. We locked up the deal and I made a deposit over the phone the same day as I do not live in the area. Sam's outstanding customer service and knowledge confirmed the decision to make our purchase from them.

When I arrived to pick up the trailer Sam immediately got the purchase process started. Shaun explained all the maintenance and other protection plans available to us. There was no pressure to purchase any of these plans, but we did decide to take advantage of a couple of them for peace of mind as they were very reasonably priced for 5 years of coverage.

Tammy took care of all of the paperwork including the DMV stuff. It was nice to leave with a permanent tag in place and knowing that I didn't have to go to the DMV and handle it myself.

Noah and Christian installed the add-ons and did a full check on the trailer while all of the paperwork stuff was going on. They even stood by patiently while I told Tammy way too many stories about my old cat. Noah and Christian hooked the trailer to my truck and went over the suggested maintenance schedule and a few other recommendations for care. I felt comfortable when I pulled out of the parking lot that things were handled very well.

We traveled about 5 hours from the Outer Banks to pick up the trailer in Thomasville and they had me hooked up and on my way home in a little over an hour. Exceeded my expectations.

Overall flawless purchase from a friendly, knowledgeable and hard working staff.
